Chapter 24 From now on, we are comrades!
The trouble caused by the Hong Kong Island gangs was just a small matter for Lei Luo. The Digital Gang blatantly ignored his orders and had clearly made their intentions known to oppose him. Since this was the case, he would deal with them all at once when the time came.
At this moment, Lei Luo was in an old factory, with only Zhu Youzi by his side. When the clock struck 12, the sound of vehicles could be heard outside the factory.
“Two sedans, ten trucks.”
“There are quite a few people.”
Zhu Youzi glanced out of the window and said to Lei Luo. When the convoy arrived, nearly a hundred people disembarked. Lei Luo walked over to the window to observe the group. From the sedans stepped out Huo Dong, accompanied by Yang Xu.
As for the people coming down from the trucks, each one had a fierce expression and powerful movements. Lei Luo could tell at a glance that these people must have come from the military. These people were certainly smuggled onto the island by Yang Xu.
But why had Yang Xu brought such a large group here?
A bold thought crossed Lei Luo’s mind, and he felt a sense of anticipation. Soon, Huo Dong and Yang Xu arrived at the office, accompanied by a lean man with sharp eyes.
As soon as Yang Xu saw Lei Luo, he quickly walked up and shook his hand, repeatedly expressing his gratitude. The batch of medicine Lei Luo had arranged was indeed timely and had helped resolve an urgent situation.
This time, aside from expressing gratitude, Yang Xu also brought instructions from Beijing. The instruction was to accept Lei Luo as an underground member!
In the future, even if something happened, Lei Luo could escape back to the mainland, and the motherland would spare no effort in protecting him.
“The motherland will remember those who are loyal to it, and in the end, the motherland will choose those who are loyal to it!”
“Lei Luo, from now on, you and I are comrades!”
Yang Xu solemnly handed Lei Luo the red star badge representing their identity. Lei Luo accepted it with both hands.
Once the formalities were completed, Yang Xu waved for the lean man to step forward.
“This is the bodyguard assigned to you by Beijing, Liu Chen.”
“He comes from the Southern Military District, speaks Cantonese, and his men also do.”
“Your identity is important, and Hong Kong Island is quite chaotic lately. We need to ensure your safety.”
“Don’t worry, they will never interfere with your affairs.”
Yang Xu emphasized the word “never.” This meant that even if Lei Luo did something illegal, they would turn a blind eye. The underground operations experience of the motherland was clear—in special environments, they must follow the flow.
Just as they had arranged bodyguards for Huo Dong, the purpose was simply protection, not surveillance. Of course, if they really did bad things, then their career prospects would be another story.
Lei Luo reached out and shook Liu Chen’s hand to welcome him. He then sat down with Yang Xu for a detailed discussion. This time was different from the last. Now, they were true partners, and Yang Xu no longer hid anything. He listed the current problems facing the mainland for Lei Luo’s reference. The most serious issue was still food shortages.
After completing the handover with Yang Xu, they hurried back to the mainland. Standing at the dock, Huo Dong gave Lei Luo a thumbs up.
“It really is as you said, Bei Bang (Northern Gang) took the fall.”
He told Lei Luo what happened during the sea trip, and Lei Luo had not expected the situation to be so coincidental. Lei Luo knew that Bei Bang had done such things in the past, but he didn’t expect it to actually happen. Fortunately, the result was good. But they couldn’t keep blaming Bei Bang every time.
“I have already established a stable cooperative relationship with Britain.”
“In the future, just follow the normal trade routes, and keep the medicine hidden.”
“As for food, I will think of a solution.”
Lei Luo exchanged intelligence with Huo Dong, then returned to the police station. From his office, he took the golden Guan Gong statue and brought it to the old factory. Liu Chen and the others were temporarily stationed there, and as soon as they saw him, they came out to welcome him.
While in the car, Lei Luo had already fused the red heart stone into the Guan Gong statue. At that moment, he happily placed the statue on the desk and set up an incense burner.
“Xiao Liu, I’ve been on Hong Kong Island for a long time, so I have some habits. Please don’t mind.”
“Of course not, Mr. Lei, feel free to arrange it as you like.”
“Xiao Liu, we believe in auspiciousness and rituals. Otherwise, it will bring bad luck.”
Lei Luo smiled like a fox as he put his arm around Liu Chen’s shoulder. Zhu Youzi also walked forward with red paper and an incense stick for everyone.
“Come, come, this is just a ritual, don’t mind it.”
“Let’s all offer incense to Guan Gong together, then recite the words on the paper.”
Liu Chen and the others, seeing no harm, immediately followed Zhu Youzi’s guidance, offering incense and chanting the words on the red paper.
After they finished inserting the incense, Lei Luo saw a red light emerge from the Guan Gong statue. The red light formed a beam that bound Liu Chen and the others, while another one connected to Lei Luo.
[Red Heart Stone Activated] [You have gained 90 loyal subordinates]Lei Luo noticed Liu Chen and the others’ eyes go dazed for a moment before returning to normal. Once the Red Heart Stone bound their loyalty, it did not affect their intelligence.
It simply changed the person they were most loyal to at the core, making it Lei Luo.
“Great! From now on, we are all brothers!”
Lei Luo laughed and said to everyone, and Zhu Youzi brought out roasted pig, roast chicken, and yellow wine. This was Lei Luo’s first truly loyal force.
As for Liu Chen and his team, aside from their loyalty, they were incredibly skilled. It would be a waste to hide them away. An idea formed in Lei Luo’s mind, perfectly merging with his original plan.
The next day, after the major gangs had calmed down, Lei Luo deployed all police forces to Kowloon. As for those drug addicts trying to stir trouble, Lei Luo ordered all the gangs to keep an eye on them. This was precisely the role of the gangs controlled by the police force.
By noon, he set off for Kowloon, with the gang leaders all setting off at the same time. High-ranking officials from the Hong Kong government and the police were also keeping watch over Kowloon, waiting for Lei Luo’s resolution.
The business world on Hong Kong Island was also paying attention to Lei Luo, making certain preparations. Even Liu Chen and his group quietly went to Kowloon under Zhu Youzi’s arrangements.
This week-long disturbance would ultimately end, depending on Lei Luo’s resolution that afternoon.
